Night Shift

Night Shift

Since I am awake at 4am I thought I'd start this thread for those of us who have trouble sleeping and might find it helpful to have a place to go to chat. Whatever gets you through the night is alright.

To get the ball rolling, I'll just say that I enjoyed being part of the Topic Tuesday discussion tonight. I wish it was possible for these events to be weekly rather than monthly. Either way, thanks SANE and all the people I've met on here over recent months.

Edited June 2016 and February 2017: Night Shift is now open 24 hours a day. To join in, just click through to the last page of the thread at the top right of this post to get to the latest message.

Edited April 2017 and June 2017: For the sake of better communications between members here, I am adding that this thread is meant to be a caring, kind and gentle place of sharing. Humour is welcome, as long as its not unkindly directed towards other members. Hope your time in this chat thread is rewarding.

Re: Night Shift

@TAB It is Ok to have changed your mind. It’s a very long way to go for a job interview. Besides there’s days we just can’t go that far away and job interview can feel stressful so not always possible to go. You did the right thing by emailing and that is the best you can do. There will be more closer opportunities for job interview too so it’s all going to be ok.

Re: Night Shift

@Appleblossom Ice cream is yummy in my tummy even in winter. What flavour did you get?

I have support worker for domestic help she chops things for me and makes a few meals. But she chops food so I can also cook myself. I can cook with some help of kitchen things for blind people. I have some sight so I can do some cooking. I use touch a lot and know which button to press for toast or to make a jaffle sandwitch. Microwave I have textile that tells me which button is which. Lots of other stuff too. Guide Dogs have cooking classes with occupational therapist so we can build some cooking skills. Over the years I’ve learned how to do some cooking because I love food and love cooking for people too. I take my time and do best I can.
